    Nah, more like this: In fact, exactly like this.

    Scale models of fictional aircraft (from decades-old hand-drawn animation) provide such a wealth of creative opportunities for unseen markings and nomenclature... and yet, we fans try increasingly hard to reproduce each other's work down to the minutest detail. I'm surprised so much gets canonized after the fact, based on "that's what the garage kit used" or "Tenjin's art included it" or "Kawamori once drew it that way."

    It's got pedigree, though. SDF-018 has appeared on most toy and model representations of the VF-4, 'cause it was there on the very first: the Musashiya garage kit... ...and rumor has it Kawamori himself did the box art.

    Ah, but will you see fit to include markings Arcadia left off the PF, like that mysterious "SDF-018" on the vertical stabs? Even the Wave kit included those...

    Incoming VF-4 pic spam! Take cover!

    It's cool, see, 'cause it doesn't sound like Japanese (and to Japanese, there's nothing more lame-sounding than Japanese), so Japanese marketing serves another delicious helping of English word salad.

    EVERY third-party movieverse figure looks amazing, compared to any official option. Even the straight KOs have more accurate colors, more detailed paint app's, and better prices... The OSKOs have better engineering, more articulation, and more electronics... Most amazing of all are the original figures, designed from scratch at Movie Masterpiece scale and accurate enough to put any previous versions to shame... But what's really amazing is how these enterprising fans keep beating HasTak at their own game, delivering product that's better, cheaper, and often easier to obtain, even. Find me an official Transformer toy that holds up to this level of scrutiny... ...and can actually, y'know, transform.

    No, she wears it on stage as well, and it gets repurposed as her costume in Shao Pai Long:

    Of Minmei? I'd rather not pollute this thread any further.

    What's with the 4:3 aspect ratio?

    A Robotech-branded product, with questionable artwork? Impossible. Harmony Gold would never stand for it.

    Seriously? A trailer for a trailer?

    Guardia has always been one of my favorite combiners... ...so much that I seriously considered picking up the YES-Model OSKO. I sure hope the reissue sells well for them.
  15. tekering
    Master Made a lot more figures that I'd realized! I love their Metroplex, and I've admired their Omega Supreme from afar... but I think I really need that Devastator. Thanks for the heads-up, TJ!

    I'm happy to say "Optus Pexus" lives up to the hype... Kuma Style's gonna love this one.
  17. tekering
    That's from "Longest Birthday," of course.
  18. tekering
    Terrific detail for such tiny toys.
  19. tekering
    Yeah, with all the usual engineering improvements (ratchets, LEDs, additional articulation, and no rubber parts). I don't follow third-party news much any more, so "Mista" went right under my radar. I never even saw it coming.

    DX VF-1A Max for $99.99... vintage 1:55 Takatoku GBP armor for $39.99... Free shipping, "almost anywhere in the world..." "Fishy" is putting it politely. I've got extra Strike sets as well. Send me a PM.

    MP-9 Rodimus, FansToys "Hoodlum," SS'86 Hot Rod... any one of them would've been better than MP-28 for that.
  22. tekering
    TV Supers? I can hook you up.
  23. tekering
    I'm still waiting for the OSKO. Oh, and speaking of which... Holy sh!t, dude. I've been waiting ten years for Bayverse figures like this.
  24. tekering
    I've been waiting ten years for a decent Dark of the Moon Soundwave. Finally. Replied in the appropriate thread.

    It's a Transformers movie, with all the expectations that come along with that (including ties to the Michael Bay films that proceeded it)... and given that framework, I absolutely stand by my statement. It's a well-made film. The visual effects are as convincing as those in The Last Knight (despite costing only HALF as much), the story has a logical structure and a well-paced plot (unlike any of the previous films), the film is consistent in tone, and the performances are grounded in a rational context absent from pretty much ANY Michael Bay film. I'm not saying it's Citizen Kane, but it's the best we could ever hope to expect from a movie "based on Hasbro's Transformers action figures."
